pages. Roosevelt's own copy with a bookplate from the publisher on the 
front endpaper stating, "This is your editorial copy" with a publication 
date of 3 January 1938. Above the bookplate the First Lady has INSCRIBED 
and SIGNED the book to her daughter and son-in-law: "For Anna & John/My 
good critics & best/readers! With love/Eleanor Roosevelt." We have 
handled many signed books by Eleanor Roosevelt, but this is only the 
third signed example of this title we have come across and one of the 
very very few of any of her titles inscribed to a family member. Joints 
and gutters of book darkened but a superior copy in both condition and 
association. Near Fine in a close to Fine dustwrapper. (#014904)
